De mensen van Aware Magazine hebben de tijd genomen om een roundup te maken van een aantal koelers die je nieuwe socket A processor niet in meerdere stukjes verdelen. Het drietal dat getest wordt bestaat uit de GlobalWin FOP38, Alpha PAL 6035 en de All-Copper Hedgehog. Alledrie blijken zeer goede resultaten teweeg te brengen en er zijn weinig verschillen tussen de koelers. Nadelen zijn dat de GlobalWin nogal wat lawaai maakt en dat de Hedgehog aan de prijs is. Dus is de uitkomst: er is geen beste, ligt er maar net aan wat je wil (beetje softe conclusie).
I think the Alpha PAL 6035 is perfect for overclockers that are looking to upgrade their systems because they may have the heatsink already. I'm not saying don't buy a new Alpha, it still is an excellent performer for about 30 bucks, especially if you are looking for excellent cooling at a price right in the middle without a huge amount of added noise. I was unable to test the Delta with the Alpha 6035 because of the timeline getting this article to press but from the review we did earlier on the Alpha/Delta solution, it should drop temps down in the range of the standard HedgeHog. Adding a Delta would also make the price about equivalent to the HedgeHog as well, your call!The Copper HedgeHog fits in for the overclockers with bucks that want the best and the "coolest". If you have to have the most expensive and tricked out heatsink on the market- grab the copper HedgeHog- it won't disappoint, it provides excellent cooling and a great "smack-talking" value.
Now we come to the GlobalWin FOP38. This heatsink performed excellently, cooling our Duron down to the coolest level in this roundup. If you are looking for the best performing air-cooling heatsink on the market right now and you don't care about noise, grab the FOP 38 from GlobalWin it just kicks butt, for a nice price.
